[SOLVED]initscripts 2012.07.5-1 destroys my network connection.

Hi..

For some reason my Internet connection fails completely when i upgrade to initscripts 2012.07.5-1.. 
Have tried both wired - and wireless. It seems to be unable to get an IP-address. 

I read the news, and updated ny rc.conf to this:

#
# /etc/rc.conf - configuration file for initscripts
#
# Most of rc.conf has been replaced by various other configuration
# files. See archlinux(7) for details.
#
# For more details on rc.conf see rc.conf(5).
#

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network dbus crond cupsd alsa networkmanager gdm)


# LOCALIZATION
# ------------
HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Copenhagen"
KEYMAP="dk"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
LOCALE="en_US.UTF-8"
DAEMON_LOCALE="yes"
USECOLOR="yes"

# Storage
#
# USEDMRAID="no"
# USELVM="no"

# Network
#
# interface=
# address=
# netmask=
# gateway=

Guess i missed something obvious, but what ??

Hope you are able to help.

You didn't specify the network settings.

Of course you are right, and thanks for the quick reply.

I did try different things, but I was unaware that i had to set this in rc.conf to make it work.

interface=eth0

In my old rc.conf i just had this.

interface=

But it did not work after the upgrade.
